Amsterdam Vegetable Stand

Let’s see…I’d like some oranges…a few apples…those strawberries look nice, are any of them fuzzy though? On the bottom? No? OK. Oh, and I’ll take a box of cat. Looks like the last one YAY.

Anabel T. reports in: “Last week we were walking through Amsterdam and saw this cutie for sale in a vegetable stand. Well, I wouldn’t confuse her with carrots but I would want to take her home!” For you techies: Anabel’s shot came via a Canon EOS 7D.

When I went to Amsterdam several years back (laws, I can’t believe it’s been a decade), shop kitties were a pretty common sight, even in restaurants. I remember being too distracted to eat sometimes because I’d be busy coaxing some feline out from under a table. XD

My Grandma had a cat in her deli in the Bronx, a hundred years ago – He was a good mouser, and they used to loan him out to the other shopkeepers to help keep the meeses out of where they shouldna been. My mother adored him.
